The resolution on establishing the Management Committee of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine was handed today to Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha by Secretary General of the Council of Europe Alain Berset and Deputy Prime Minister Mihai Popșoi, in his capacity as President of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, during the opening ceremony of the ministerial session.

The resolution was adopted at the 135th Ministerial Session of the Council of Europe, chaired by the Republic of Moldova. The agreement provides for the creation of the Management Committee of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine, which will ensure funding as well as the administrative and managerial support necessary for its functioning. The Special Tribunal will have the mandate to investigate and prosecute individuals responsible for the crime of aggression against Ukraine.

By participating in the Enlarged Partial Agreement, the Republic of Moldova contributes to strengthening international efforts to ensure accountability for serious violations of international law and reaffirms its firm commitment to the UN Charter, the rules-based international order, and the defense of international peace and security.

The Republic of Moldova is among the 34 member states that have expressed their intention to join this agreement, alongside the European Union, Costa Rica and Australia.
